Because Marcus Asked Me To, That's Why


Exciting news! Country Music Star Joe Nichols has collaborated with our effort to create a music video featuring wounded warriors. What’s very amazing about it is the fact that Marcus Luttrell opens and closes the video, and 2 of our other wounded warriors are the actors. Army Special Forces Captain Ivan Castro is one of our blind guys who is still on active duty and Army Ranger Captain (Retired) Chad Fleming is one of our amputees who is now continuing to serve his country in a different capacity.

We need everyone's help to get this video out to the public. The video was featured as a WORLD PREMIER on CMT this morning and we have the embed codes to post everywhere possible advance. (SEE BELOW).

Our goal is to see this music video become the #1 requested music video on CMT and to bring awareness and attention to this worthy cause through this platform.

We’d love to have you guys promote this video on your website, social media, etc.

A little background. If you are not familiar with the name Marcus Luttrell, he is a former Navy SEAL who penned the book "Lone Survivor", which details the final mission of the SEAL team he was assigned to. It was the final mission because save for him all the other members of the team were killed by the Taliban. If you haven't already I encourage you to buy the book and read it. These are the heroes whom we ignore.

If Marcus told me to put on gasoline soaked underwear and wear them through the very gates of hell, as long as he was by my side, we would take off at a trot.

I've read the book, and would second that motion. Buy it. Read it, and then pass it on. Support the 'Seals'.
